A spiritual successor to The New Liar's Club, but with movies, songs, and factual statements, and no mention of Shoddy Laroux. The game is derivative, but the real reason we did the show is the end theme and its similarities to video games of the era.

We're giving you a double dose of McLean Stevenson today, on his 98th birthday. Next is a very short-lived show with McLean playing a conservative priest who clashes often with a liberally-minded nun. After 5 low-rated episodes, CBS was having nun of it.

In honor of McLean Stevenson's 98th birthday, we re-examine one of the first shows we covered, one synonymous with NBC's troubles in the late 70s and early 80s, but also one synonymous with Stevenson's failures post-M*A*S*H.

Over the years, overweight people were often the butt of jokes. One show avoided those stereotypes, showing a trio of overweight sisters trying to improve themselves health-wise and career-wise, and being empathetic souls looking out for their fellow men.
